Frøy the Fertility God
Etching Print Series
Based on a bronze figurine of the Norse god, Freyr, a find from Rallinge, Sweden dating to the early 11th century, I created my own character and its expressions. Freyr is the male fertility god in the Norse mythology.
Medium: Etching print, colored with magic markers and stickers on water color paper
Size: 18”x24” and 16” x 18”
The making of the prints
I created various sketches when developing the 3D mythic and Norse sculpture series. These sketches was used when making make these etching prints.
I traced them on plexiglass by scraping the surface with a ballpoint needle, and then transferred with ink through a press on watercolor paper. I then colored some with florissant markers, gauche paint and added stickers.
